TEACHERS' SALARIES IN CERTAIN ENDOWED 

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN 

THE UNITED STATES 



I 



N DECEMBER 1919, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, in present- 
ing to the (jeneral Education Board securities valued at about 
$50,000,000, addressed to it the following communication: 

December 18, 1919. 
General Education Board, 
61 Broadway, 
New York City. 
Gentlemen : 

The attention of the American public has recently been drawn to the urgent 
and immediate necessity of providing more adequate salaries to members of the 
teaching profession. It is of the highest importance that those entrusted with 
the education of youth and the increase of knowledge should not be led to 
abandon their calling by reason of financial pressure or to cling to it amid dis- 
couragements due to financial limitations. It is of equal importance to our fu- 
ture welfare and progress that able and aspiring young men and women should 
not for similar reasons be deterred from devoting their lives to teaching. 

Moved by these considerations, I herewith give to the General Education 
Board the securities set forth in the accompanying schedule. While this 
gift is made for the general corporate purposes of the Board, I should cordially 
endorse a decision to use the principal as well as the income as promptly and 
largely as may seem wise for the purpose of cooperating with the higher institu- 
tions of learning in raising sums specifically devoted to the increase of teachers* 
salaries. 

Very truly yours, 

(Signed) John D, Rockefeller. 

Before the General Education Board could take intelligent action Purpose 
with regard to the use of the gift, it was necessary to ascertain 
the present situation respecting teachers' salaries in the higher in- 
stitutions of learning; how it compares with that which existed in 
1914-1915, before the war; what steps, if any, have been taken by 
the institutions themselves to increase salaries to meet the increase 
in the cost of Uving; what further steps institutions may contem- 
plate looking to that end, in case measures thus far taken are not 
yet entirely adequate.^ 

In order to obtain the data needed for the study, two question- 
naires were sent to colleges and universities supposed to be eUgible

for aid. Replies were received from 249 institutions — more than 
96 per cent, of the Ust. As a general rule, the questions asked were 
clearly answered, especially by the larger and older estabUshed in- 
stitutions, but there is no doubt that some of the repHes are not 
entirely accurate and reUable, and, in a few cases, cannot be used 
because of their inaccuracies. However, for the purpose which 
was contemplated, the data obtained are adequate, and the amount 
of error will not materially modify conclusions which may be 
formed as to the general situation. 

The first questionnaire sought the following information for the 
years 1914-1915 and 1919-1920: 

1. Regarding the instructional staff — the number employed, the rank, and 

the salaries paid. 

2. The salary scale in effect and the budget income and expenditures under 

eight headings. 

3. The percentage which each class of income or expenditures is of the 

total. 

4. The attendance, tuition fees paid, and balance sheet. 

The object of this questionnaire was to find out the facts in 
the present situation and their variance from the situation existing 
in 1914-1915. 

The second questionnaire asked what increases in salaries had 
been authorized, either for the present year or for the future; what 
further increases were under consideration; what financial provi- 
sions had been made or contemplated to care for the increases; how 
far the resources of the institutions are adequate to provide for the 
increases authorized and planned, and what amount, if any, must be 
obtained from outside sources. 

The material obtained has been edited and tabulated, and cer- 
tain general and specific facts have been secured which will be 
shown in separate tables. 

The country was divided into five geographical divisions, as fol- 
lows, because it was thought that the cost of living in the same 
division would be affected by approximately the same set of con- 
ditions:

Connecticut

Western States — comprising 


Arizona 


Nevada 


California 


New Mexico 


Colorado 


Oregon

Utah 


Montana 


Washington 




Wyoming 



The institutions were then divided into three groups: 

1. Men's and Coeducational Colleges and Universities 

2. Women's Colleges 

3. Colleges for Negroes 

A further classification was made on the basis of attendance, since 
the size of the faculty is dependent upon the size of the student 
body; and since, for the subject under rev'iew, this basis of classi- 
fication seemed sounder than one built upon the resources, or scale 
of salaries paid. The classes are as follows: 

Class A — institutions having an attendance of 1,000 and over 

Class B — institutions whose attendance ranges between 500 and 1,000 

Class C — institutions having fewer than 500 students 

The following table shows the number of institutions to which 
the questionnaires were sent listed under the five geographical divi- 
sions according to their classes:

The material received has been compiled under the above geo- 
graphical divisions, groups and classes and the conditions prevailing 
therein have been set forth, first in separate detail and later in sum- 
maries.i It is with the latter that we are now chiefly concerned. 
The most complete information was furnished for the colleges of 
arts, Hterature and science; the ofl&cers of institutions for the most 
part assumed that Mr. Rockefeller's gift would be used exclusively 
for colleges of arts, literature and science, and only occasionally 
did they furnish complete details for the professional schools as 
well. However, such data, wherever supplied, have been tabulated 
and edited separately. 

The summaries for the colleges of arts, literature and science 
show that, comparing the present year 1919-1920 with 1914-1915, 
there have been the percentages of increase in salaries shown in 
the following table. It will be noted that the table includes data 
regarding "assistants" and "others". Conditions with reference 

^The number of institutions reporting in answer to different queries varied 
slightly as inspection of the tables will show. But the variations do not affect 
perceptibly either the statistics or deductions.

Cost of

to teachers in these ranks vary greatly in different institutions so 
that the data are not on a comparable basis. The first four ranks 
given in the table comprise the regular faculty of the institutions. 
The question next arises, how far do the increases of salaries 
shown before meet the increased cost of living? According to in- 
vestigations made by Royal Meeker, Commissioner of Labor, and 
pubhshed in the Monthly Labor Review, Vol. X, No. 2, page 83, the 
cost ot 22 food products entering into the average family expendi- 
ture for a year increased from 1913 to December, 1919, as follows: 



In New England States . 
Middle Atlantic States 
Southern States 
Middle Western States 
Western States . 



93 per cent. 

97 per cent. 

98 per cent. 
101 per cent. 

8s per cent. 



It was further learned, from a reprint of a report published in the 
Monthly Labor Review, September, 1919, pp. 50-52, that from 
December, 1914, to June, 1919, the per cent, of increase in cost of 
living in a selected hst of cities for an average family — food, cloth- 
ing, housing, fuel and light, furniture and furnishings, and miscel- 
laneous — was as follows: 



In New England States 


. . . 73.52 


Middle Atlantic States . . . 


. . . 79-89 


Southern States .... 


. . . 80.85 


Middle Western States . 


. . . 78.69 


Western States 


. . . 68.45 



The figures in the articles referred to were given under various 
cities in alphabetical order. In order to get the results accord- 
ing to the above geographical divisions, they were rearranged. It 
must be kept in mind that the figures given apply to cities, 
whereas many colleges and universities are situated in rural com- 
munities. Yet one may reasonably infer that the percentage of 
increase in cost of living in the country would correspond with 
that for cities. There have been some increases in the cost of 
living since June and December, 1919, but most of the increase 
since 1913 is included in the figures here given. In Research 
Report No. 25 of the National Industrial Conference Board, De- 
cember, 1 91 9, page 22, the percentages of increase between July, 
1914, and November, 1919, in the cost of living in average Ameri- 
can communities, by separate budget items, are given as follows:

A scrutiny of the replies to the second questionnaire develops the 
fact that practically all of the institutions realize that the increases 
of salary made for the present year (1919-1920) are inadequate, 
usually ranging from 20 to 35 per cent, of the increase in cost of 
living. The institutions have, therefore, planned or authorized 
increases for next year. In very few instances; however, do the in- 
creases granted plus the increases proposed even approximate the 
increase in the cost of living. 

For the average percentage of increase in salary of teachers and 
average salary paid in colleges of arts, literature and science in 
each of the several divisions of the country, see the following table:

Note: Since "assistants" and "others" are not part of the regular instruc- 
tional staff, they are not included in the above statement. 

_,. . . As before stated, the officials of institutions recognize the necessity 
provision for increasing the salaries of the teachers, and have considered ways 
f°^r«tiYJ ^^^ means for doing so. The plans for obtaining funds for the 
most part follow three general lines: 

1. Increase of tuition and other fees. 

2. Solicitation of gifts for an emergency or sustaining fund for a few years 
until, it is hoped, the emergency will be past. 

3. Solicitation for further endowment. 



increases 



The first of the three plans is the one usually resorted to first, be- 
cause it is readily available and promises prompt results. 

From the repUes which have been received, we find that the tui- 
tion cost to the student has increased since 1914-1915 as shown in 
the following table :

*One institution is now charging tuition which did not heretofore. 
The average increase in fees in men's and coeducational institutions 
for the period is 25.3 per cent., and in women's colleges 23.4 per cent. 

Just as the institutions have found that the increases of salary 
already authorized are insufl5cient to meet the situation, so also 
do they believe that the increases in tuition and other fees are not 
all that students might bear of the increased operating costs. It 
is found that very many of them have already authorized further 
increases in fees for next year or are planning to do so. There is a 
somewhat prevalent impression that the students' fees in the ag- 
gregate should approximately equal the salary roll of the instruc- 
tional staff. If this theory is accepted, it follows that both the fee 
and the salary should be increased pari passu. It is interesting 
to note how far this theory is now true in the institutions covered 
in this survey. The following tables give the total salaries paid for 
instruction and the fees paid by students in all departments of the 
institutions:

In the men's and coeducational institutions it will be seen that the 
receipts from students comprise 87.5 per cent, of the instructional 
roll on the average. In the case of women's colleges, the stu- 
dents' fees, which include certain special charges, more than pay 
the instructional roll. 

Many institutions very properly hesitate to increase tuition fees 
lest they make it impossible for students of limited means to attend 
college at all. In so far as the students come from the merchant and 
manufacturing classes, whose profits and salaries have been commen- 
surate with the increased cost of living, there appears to be no reason 
why they should not pay proportionately the same amount as they 
paid formerly. But where they come from famihes of teachers, 
preachers and others of similar situation, whose compensation has 
not kept pace with the cost of living, an increase in tuition fees 
works hardship and may even exclude some from obtaining a college 
education. Since this latter class has always eagerly sought an 
education, and has produced many eminent men, the question may 
seriously be raised whether any large increase in tuition rates would 
not tend to create a class privileged to obtain an education, and 
exclude less fortunate persons. 

The second recourse — sohcitation of gifts for an emergency or 
sustaining fund — has been resorted to very generally. It is very 
gratifying, and augurs well for the continued support of educa- 
tional ideals, to find how universally the alumni and friends 
have responded to the appeal. Some college administrators take 
the ground that asking for annual contributions for current ex- 
penses may be more productive and satisfactory than an appeal 
occasionally for endowment. 

The third method of obtaining the necessary revenue — that of 
sohcitation of larger endowment — has also been put in operation.

Institutions have adopted it on the apparent assumption that the 
present situation is not a temporar}-- or passing one, but is Ukely to 
continue. Judging from the number of campaigns under way or con- 
templated, and the amounts sought, there is expectation of a gener- 
ous attitude on the part of the pubHc. There is doubtless reason for 
this hope because of the public appreciation of the gravity of the 
situation, and the educational value of campaigns already under- 
taken by the larger institutions. Among these campaigns one kind 
must be particularly mentioned, viz., the various "church drives'' 
which are now being launched, which include among other ob- 
jects the needs of the colleges of the respective denominations. 
In the opinion of the officials of certain institutions, the grants thus 
apportioned will, when and if realized, be sufficient to meet the 
needs of the institutions. It should be observed, however, that 
these funds will not be available immediately, but will be payable 
in annual installments for a period of four or five years. If these 
movements are successful, the colleges at the close of the period men- 
tioned will be well cared for. In the meantime, however, the in- 
stitutions need help in caring for their current expenses. 

In addition to the plans for increasing the revenue of institutions 
just recited, church conferences and boards, especially those of the 
Methodist denomination, are educating their constituencies to make 
per capita annual contributions for educational purposes, which 
in the aggregate amount to large sums. In the Southern States 
this method has in many cases provided the funds needed to make 
the increases of salary which have been authorized. 

The replies received to the questionnaires show that in very few 
instances has any attempt been made to curtail expenses. Where 
efforts have been made they have generally taken the form of reduc- 
ing scholarships offered from general funds, or by combining depart- 
ments whose work was somewhat similar in kind. It is highly 
probable that economies in expenditure could be effected if serious 
study were given to the problem. The result to the institution 
would be more beneficial than an increase of resources. 

The need of increasing instructional salaries is but a part of the Problem 

diflSculties which confront college trustees and officers. The sur- °^, 

college 
vey reveals the fact that instructional salaries on the average officials 

now form but 47 per cent, of the total budget expenditures, and 



14 

that the remaining expenditures have increased by leaps and 
bounds, especially those for the operation and maintenance of the 
plant, and for supplies and equipment. Moreover, the demands in 
these cases are much more insistent and imperious, with the re- 
sult that the income derived from increased tuition fees has been 
devoted to these imperative needs and very little to teachers' sal- 
aries. 

The total budget expenditures of the institutions reporting in- 
creased 50.1 per cent, since 1914-1915, a portion of which was due 
to enlargeaient. The expenses of operation and maintenance of 
plant increased 74 per cent, while the amount paid for salaries 
increased but 42.6 per cent. Thus it will be seen that the cost of 
keeping the plant in operation increased 23.9 per cent, above the 
average increase, while the amount paid for instruction was 7.5 
per cent, below the average increase. In 1914-1915, the amount 
paid for instruction constituted 49.5 per cent, of the total budget 
expenditures, while in 1919-1920 it had gone down to 47 per cent. 
The amount paid for operation and maintenance of plant in 1914- 
1915 was 14.8 per cent, of the total budget expenditures. In the 
present year 1919-1920 it has risen to 17.2 per cent. 

While expenses have been increasing in all directions, income 
from endowments, which for the most part are usually invested 
in long-time securities, has remained fixed, and its purchasing 
power has shrunk. The combined effect of all these causes 
has been that teachers have been the last to receive benefit. 
As a result, many of them have left the profession for more lucra- 
tive positions, and the situation is rendered more trying for college 
boards because, the supply of teachers being limited, they are 
forced to bid against one another to fill vacancies in their staffs. 
They also appoint new and inexperienced teachers at a much higher 
salary than their predecessors received, and higher than that re- 
ceived by some of the older teachers of superior rank, thus creating 
an intolerable situation. 

The "mortahty" in college faculties due to resignation or trans- 
fer to other institutions since 1914-1915 appears from the survey to 
be very great, in some cases as high as 85 per cent., and on the 
average fully 35 per cent. Just how large a part of this is due to 
withdrawals because of war activities, and what part to the inad- 



IS 
equacy of salary, it is impossible to determine. But the effect, so 
far as the colleges are concerned, is identical. 

Teachers' salaries paid this year (1919-1920) in the schools and Salary 
colleges reporting are as follows: instmc- 



Arts, Literature and Science:

Theology 223,141 

Others 772,639 $6,504,341 

Total $20,889,116 

Colleges for Negroes are not included here because in many instances 
their financial affairs are managed through Home Mission Boards, 
and special Education Boards, and it was not practicable at this 
time to get information from them, but possibly $350,000 more 
should be added to the above sum on account of institutions for 
Negroes. 

The teachers' salaries given on page 11 include all departments 
of instruction and summer sessions, correspondence study, and 
the like, which are not included in the figures just given. More- 
over, some institutions included professional schools in the 
total instructional salaries, but did not give the details sep- 
arately. 

Among many factors which have to be considered in judging the 
adequacy of the teacher's remuneration, perhaps no single factor is 
more important than the teacher's responsibility to his family. 
Inquiry has, therefore, been made, in order to ascertain how many 
of the teachers reported in the above schedule are married and 
how many unmarried. The following table gives this information 
approximately, for the several divisions of the country, for the year 
1919-1920:

CONCLUSION 

The data above given show clearly that our higher institutions of 
learning, which are supported by endowment, are seriously men- 
aced through lack of funds to pay adequate salaries to teachers. 
Business economies may be effected by the introduction of more 
efl&cient methods of conducting strictly business operations, yet 
there is grave danger that large numbers of able men may be 
driven from academic life and that young men and women of 
ability may be deterred from entering academic careers. It is in- 
cumbent upon those who beHeve in the importance of endowed col- 
leges and universities as factors in our educational development to 
cooperate promptly and generously in assuring their future. 



APPENDIX 

The appendix consists of statistical tables and statements re- 
garding teachers' salaries in certain colleges and universities, ar- 
ranged geographically, by groups and classes with reference to: 

1. Number of teachers by ranks in 1914-1915 and 1919-1920; 

2. Total salaries paid, by ranks, ini9i4-i9i5 and 191 9-1920; 

3. Average salaries paid, by ranks, in 1914-1915 and 1919- 

1920; 

4. Per cent, of increase in salaries since 1914-1915, by ranks. 
The statements give the information regarding Colleges of Arts, 

Literature and Science, and also for the several professional schools 
whenever it was furnished for the latter. 
The data are arranged in the following manner: 

1. For Men's and Coeducational Institutions; 

2. For Women's Colleges; 

3. For Colleges for Negroes. 

In the case of the professional schools, the several ranks of teach- 
ers are not given separately because of the many statements re- 
quired for that purpose and because the essential facts are shown by 
the present arrangement. 

Data are given, also, regarding: — 

1. The attendance, the tuition fees paid, the average tuition 

fee per student, and per cent, of increase; 

2. Percentages which the amount paid for instruction and 

cost of operation of buildings and grounds are of total 
budget expenditures. 
All of the above data are arranged geographically by the respect- 
ive groups, classes and divisions.
